botswana is a developed nation. Google it. But i even compared them with other small sized nation with sea access...gambia and mauritania...why are they not doing as good as landlocked botswana? Since ur argument is that once u are not landlocked that u will grow fast? Why cant gambia over take botswana.

Which country do u think is the 2nd most developed subsaharan nation?

I repeat we dont need ikwerre. We want them sure...but we dont need them

The emboldened part of your statement signals the end of this discourse!

There's not one developed country in all of Africa! South Africa, during the apartheid era was considered developed by some but lost that status over the last two decades.

"All mighty" China is still being called emerging or newly developed!

Pleeeeeeeaaase! There's no developed country with a 15 Billion Dollar economy! And no developed country is a middle income county like Bostwana!

Gosh! And I did think you knew your stuff!

selemempe:
bro landlocked botswana is the 2nd most developed and richest sub saharan country...it has a population of 2 million..no oil. Compare it with gambia and mauritania...similar population...access to the sea..but shit holes.

If nigeria splits only in 2 (nigeria and biafra)...things might be difficult if we dont have ph. But can our govt get us a good deal with the nigerian authorities to keep river niger open? Hell yeah!

If nigeria splits into many countries then even better...we can battle ijaw for ikwerre land...or we can negotiate with ijaw to keep river niger open for us...in exchange of helpin them fight their battles any time

I don't know where you pull your stats from but Botswana is a laughable economy of $15 billion. That's less than Dangote's net worth!

With a population of 2 Million people, that beggars GDP will go round the while country. Still Botswana isn't even in the maps of Africa's biggest economy.

You're measuring GDP per capita to gauge Botswana's wealth. That's misleading and false.

And please don't ever say Botswana is second most developed country in sub Saharan Africa , it's just a low-level lie.

What are they manufacturing or exporting other than raw materials?

Please Biafra landlocked after breaking away from hostile region is doomed.

Have you ever seen Bistwana playing international politics or reaching beyond her borders? No.

Botswana's survivability is dependent on her neighbours, like Biafra without sea access.

selemempe:
Togo with sea access is even poorer. Meanwhile landlocked ethiopia is the fastest developing country in africa...and Adis Ababa looks better than both lagos and abuja in terms of modern streets and infrastructure...

I wont stand here and tell u that having biafra without port harcourt will be all rosy...but its not worse than we have it now.

At least people will start using onitsha river port..cos now nobody is using it. At least we can use our international airports instead of going to lagos. If we need to loby the niger delta to keep river niger open for us, we will...other wise we threaten to dam it. They lose nothing by keeping it open to us...but they lose a lot if we dam it for electricity...remember it flows from north into the ocean.
We are not swaziland...and the dynamics are not the same. Swaziland dont have a river port. We do. The only thing we need is for nigeria to keep their part of the niger open to us. They can...its all diplomacy.

The ikwerre shakara is too much for people bringing only sea access that we have an alternative to

A $70 billion dollar economy will always be the fastest because it's like a child growing everyday still at the budding stages.

Meanwhile Ethiopia has been the only African country not to be colonised and has remained as a country for centuries building and growing when the rest of Africa was blundered by colonialism. That's very poor argument from you.

Besides Togo is just 7 million in total population.

Compare Ethiopia with tiny Angola, or South Africa or Nigeria, stop looking for a 7 million population Togo for comparison.


Please which Niger Delta community will you lobby to open up the River Niger?

selemempe:
lol..so u believe that once ur nation is not opened to the sea...it will be poor...well here is the irony...ethiopia is landlocked even worse than biafra...but its richer than togo with miles of coastal line and oil...

Austria is rich than nigeria...yet its landlocked without oil.

I repeat...igboland is not landlocked...we have water ways...we dont need nigerdelta

Ethiopia is over 80 million people with an economy of 72 billion dollar GDP. That my friend is a textbook definition of poor and miserable.

Being landlocked doesn't necessarily condemn a country to being poor, it simply makes them overly dependent on their neighbours, restricting trade and geopolitical reach.

Take a look at what South Africa is doing to Swaziland!

selemempe:
South sudan is landlocked..but it has a river port.
Juba port is the main river port in South Sudan. Other main ports in the country are located in the towns of Bor, Mangalla, Shambe, Adok, Malakal, Melut and Renk. Barges are not confined to docking at these locations and will travel to where they are needed and where it is safest to dock. General cargo barges docking in Juba can contain anything from food and household goods, to building supplies, heavy engineering machinery, vehicles and fuel. Passenger barges carry IDPs from conflict areas in the north of the country also terminate at Juba making the port an important transit area for IDPs.

If u see...a ship will pass thru somalia and ethiopia b4 it reaches the port...if river niger passes thru nigeria or anyother country, then we must negotiate to keep our vessels flowing thru...

That's why south Sudan is still a chief destination for UN charity and UNESCO aid since breaking away from Sudan .

Bede2u:
paris and london ports are located on inland water...yet they are among the two busiest ports in the world

the suez canal is even artificial water...yet its being heavily used by egypt and it revolutionised water travel. bro igboland is good to go without port.

any shipping company that wants to work in igboland will know to make use of vessels that can go on rivers

England is surrounded by North And Irish Seas with London at the very edge with a crack of ports making way into the city. Which kind talk be this one?

England itself na island country inside Europe so which one you come dey compare London and Biafra?

Egypt isn't a landlocked country and it doesn't share the canal as a border with another country.
Biafra Without Port Harcourt will be surrounded all around by Nigeria and would need sea access from Nigeria as well.
Cameroon will also be landlocked at the Eastern border.

Very uncomfortable.

selemempe:
Another important attribute to development is the people's temprament.
The Igbos have a cool...non violent...non confrontational temprament. The Niger Delta dont. They have this ''i be creek boy'' ''our oyel'' ''warri no dey carry last'' mindset. U cant build a developed, peaceful nation with such people.

River Niger is not a sea port, it's an inland water.

Without port Harcourt which is over 70 percent Igbo, it means Biafra will be a land locked state without access to the sea. Very vital for economy, ask Niger and Austria.

Barring any last-minute change in plans, President Muhammadu Buhari will vie for the chairmanship of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in Lome, Togo, on Tuesday, TheCable can report.

A new chairman will succeed President Faure Gnassingbe of Togo at the end of the 53rd Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government.

Buhari departed Abuja on Sunday for Lome in company with a team of two governors and five ministers.

Also in the delegation are Babagana Monguno, the national security adviser (NSA); Abayomi Olonisakin, chief of defence staff; Ahmed Abubakar, the DG of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA); and Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Diplomatic sources told TheCable that Buhari was prevailed upon Monday night by some West African countries to go for the position.

Other countries that initially showed interested in the chairmanship are Ghana, Sierra Leone and Cape Verde.

A diplomatic told TheCable: “At a dinner on Monday night, some of the West African diplomats had a long discussion with Buhari and persuaded him to run.”

TheCable had learnt at the weekend that the president was interested in the position, but senior government officials denied knowledge of it.

It is still unclear if President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana will be throwing his hat in the ring.


https://www.thecable.ng/exclusive-buhari-vie-ecowas-chairmanship

Nigeria is the backbone of ECOWAS, contributing majority of the funds, logistics and resources. The chairmanship should be left to smaller countries like Ghana, Senegal, Ivory Coast etc.

Why is Buhari so Desperate?

Kwakwakwa Loooooolz. Throwing my own words back at me is the ultimate submission to defeat.

Thank you for letting me know my words sting

MartinCorridon:
I had my mother to sleep with even though she's habitually one with poor hygiene and having the refinement level of a kitchen mouse. I am also a product of incestous gang.bang.. My family and I are easily the world's largest private supplier of herpes and staphylococcus in known history. I have more memory of my dad drunk-raping my mother to coma than her ever being happy at home. And Nairaland remains my one and only means of escapism from my pains of reality, that's why I took the pain and time to tell you my daily routine; I have been banned and I use my alternate handle like a crank fiend before I die like a cheap drug addict going turkey.

Let me let also use this opportunity to say my life isn't worth the economic value of my mother's vagina secretion that flush me out of her cyst ravaged womb into the world.



You now have the permission to bleat for as long as you like, my goat

Your sense of comeback is as twisted as your father's claim to your mother's pregnancy with you. anyways, you came off as a desperate, pathetic, poorly educated oaf trying to sound intelligent. Thanks for the big laugh.

It's a pity your mother wasted all her efforts in labour birthing a low under -breed like you when your life is still as unproductive and worthless like the placenta that came after you.

By now, I know she wished you had ended up like another late menstrual discharge, following down a wrinkled thighs into that overused rag she calls sanitary pad

MartinCorridon:
Still grunting in pains, having delusions... You have been having PTSD over my punches

how do you define getting up after weeks to quote a stale post? You're a horrible mixture of low and desperate

You just couldn't hide your emotional instability! Displaying same whoring temperament here as with your last alternate when I turned you in a piece of meatball

Go learn to live yourself, having a compulsive penchant for Nairaland quotes cannot heal you from being a self-hating reprobate.

Oshiomole is arguably the only living human uglier than a monkey with an unfortunate bonus of being a dwarf, looking tattered and grotesque that no smile can soften his hideous facial expressions marked with contour of unfathomable human sadness .

How a party chairman will break protocol repeatedly to speak directly to the opposition and appointed members of his own government is alarming.

His job is to harmonize the internal workings of the APC not to challenge the PDP or APC ministers.

I doubt there will ever be a darker moment in Nigeria's political history than what the APC has brought us into.

MartinCorridon:
All this epistles for me? I logged out for some days and i saw tons of mentions from you all for me

I am not that jobless so you can keep barking for as long as you wish.

still switching between alternates to attain a Nairaland-evoked sense of worth?

You're not only jobless, you're a cyberpunk with chronic self-abuse.

Nigeria police still believe in money-making rituals at an institutional level!

No wonder these fools can't even protect themselves never mind the public.

Silly journalism.rochas got the job because he threw in all resources to support the ugly Oshiomole bid for national chairman of the APC.

LexngtonSteele:
Lol. Still pained. Cry louder. That guy messed your life up so much you haven't even forgotten his blows .

Been more than 24 hours...here you are memorizing monikers

expected! The piglet doesn't have anything meaning to say.
Can't even defend his profound lack of wits.

LexngtonSteele:
. Cry louder. It's amusing. No one reads your lengthy Nobel efforts The guy buried you

the police officer who shot at Linda Nkechi has been dismissed. No excuses.

I guess even by Nigeria police standard, you're a confirm mumu..

All hail the guy who takes the biggest L of the year.

Inebriated idiot.

Loooooolz. You cancelled it out? Must have hurt really bad

Mr jobber man, am I eating into your office time?

Organic jobless animal

LexngtonSteele:
My commute is less than 10-15 minutes and i arrived the office to see THREE mentions in the space of 5 mins simply because someone ended your career ?

Next time, simply use sense before commenting nah. Sorry again if i exacerbated the pains he put you through. You sound so butt-hurt

Abeg who ask you for your life bio and routine?

See as insecurity dey pursue you like market thief!

" I'm going to work now"
" My commune is less than 10 mins" and
" I arrived the office..."

You sure do care enough about this fearlez dude who only exists on the internet to tell him you got a job and your office distance is 10 minutes walk/drive.

I will say you can no longer hold on to your emotional wits anymore than your mother held on to her vaginity.

Listen, here's nairaland, a cyber dome, no one cares about you or what you do. People who rant about their jobs online needlessly often don't have any jobs.

You're worse than a badly programmed Ugandan virus.

E just dey sweet me as I dey pop you like pimple each time you try to make a lousy comeback sweating like an ISIS propaganda hostage

You're an intellectual dwarf and an emotional milquetoast.

And I don't want to read you talking about jobs anymore; my bi-monthly data subscription is worth more than your father's life savings.

Animal!

@ LexngtonSteele

You can go to your imaginary job in the land of Oz and log in with your Martin account let me flog you harder than daddy ever foucked your momma.

Now he edits his last post for a record 3rd time just to feel good about destroying me
LexngtonSteele, you're a fragile glass in human form.

You are tormented, needing to post and post and re-edit just to feel good about your deadbeat life.

I worry your childhood is traumatized by a lack of full-time dad.

See how he's editing his short post like a LovePeddler who forgot to add anal bonus tips

LexngtonSteele:
Pele...cry more. It's sad. You were disciplined

Mr gainfully employed, you seem to have this pathetic need to respond to anything.

Do you measure your worth with your ability to be emotionally stirred by Nairaland comment feed?

Why you have this petulance of a prepubescent bitch approaching hormonal changes?

LexngtonSteele:
Why are you ranting because he almost committed manslaughter on you ?

I could have employed you as a speechwriter if not for the microscopic IQ.

The guy disgraced you thoroughly and permanently damaged your psyche.

RIP. It was crushing

MartinCorridon...thanks for the laughs and the home training provided to this miscreant

Hahahahaha. You made my day

Loolz, see as you dey fall your hand. Failing simple psychology test.

First I dey jobless for responding by 8 in the mornin.

But you have reacted to every one of my posts , even reacting to the one I posted to your main account.

Why you dey use alternate account dey hype yourself nah?

Your self-esteem is lower than your grandmother's boobs.

LexngtonSteele:
My condolences Bro, but it's hard to read your posts cos you typed them through tears.

Get a job, bro and stop writing Nobel Speeches here.

ROTFLMAO. Just plead with the guy to be more merciful next time. Pele

MartinCorridon:
She was driving at 1km/hr that's why she/driver of the car refused to stop at a Police checkpoint.

Please continue to speed past checkpoints preferably military and in North East.

My post wasn't meant for cr3tins by the way Bark as much as you like, it's entertaining to converse with the mentally challenged

are you just senile or stupid or both?

If you call the above quote murder, then your mother fed you goat milk at infancy.

You're playing shadow boxing because I once murdered you and proved your existence wasn't worth the vagina secretion your mother expelled in labour to deliver you!

Now you're taking my legendary trademark punching just for being a tackless busybody-noseyparker

LexngtonSteele:
All these epistle for a Nairaland post ? At 8am ? You need a job, man!

The guy destroyed you and it's amusing to see.

Chineke!

you were born premature!

seems I have hurt you somewhere before. You sound pained and ready to fight.

Rushing to spew parental expletives over a comment is a reflection of anger and pain.

No wonder you're claiming a guy who was defending himself destroyed me.

I can only blame your existence on cheap antibiotics which neutralised your mother's army of vagina yeast and staphylococcus to enable your father's watery sperm to scourge her diseased eggs to produce an idiot who calls himself LexngtonSteele.

Where's the Steel in you when you crack easily like a laboratory glass.

Now hit your keyboard and express your anger in digital representation for me.

Son of a vagabonding truant father!

LexngtonSteele:
Just like he did to you that made you cry.....

Bark louder, we need a doggie here

Epain am

E pain am? That is the well-worn response of nairaland psychedelic dumb, jobless posters without a mind of their own.

It truly hurts when killer policemen out their will read your friend's posts and partially absorb themselves from blame.

It is one of the drawbacks of internet that there's no practical measures to stop mentally un-evolved cyber mouse like you from expressing an opinion.

LexngtonSteele:
LOL... savage response. The fearlez guy isn't so bright

hmm, one of the dumb indiscriminate givers of likes to mediocre posts.

It is well with your plight.

MartinCorridon:

Young, broke and dumb. You obviously don't own a car so you're permitted to spread your ignorance in digital print.

It is only logically hollow citizens like you that distort reality just to appease the demons of intellectual morbidity tormenting you.

Now how's a driver refusing to stop warrant a gunshot?

I repeat stay off hard drugs and anyone playing games with your sanity and cognitive abilities should please stop.

If you're distorting the fact of police corruption and murders on the grounds of not stopping at Checkpoints that has become a point of extortion, delays and harassment, then your brain must be running one single cell.

If you're not a clown and a motley fool, your position will be about Nigeria police fucking off the roads or mounting roadblocks just to fleece drivers of their money... something even the most background east or west African countries don't practice.

Any indirect blame on the driver is only implicitly justifying Nigeria police unprofessional conduct or distorting the fact which is a police man releasing gun shots when it was completely unnecessary and when his life was not in danger, neither was he pursing a suspect or criminal.

I hope by now you must have realised you're cursed beyond spiritual and orthodox redemption. Idiot!

Before I forget, in Edo state a DPO was arrested and subsequently jailed for shooting of a driver who failed to stop. In Delta State, a DPO led his team to effect arrest of a criminal suspect who refused to open his door, the police shot from outside and one of the bullets got the suspect. The DPO was held for murder!

Attention-hungry, dimwitted lowlife, nothing justified police unprovoked lawless killings. It had to stop.

Budding idiot.

Orue.

MartinCorridon:
This is from the same guy who publicized the initial story.

Police are the LAW ENFORCEMENT agents.

Whichever way you look at it, it's extremely foolish to defy a man with a gun.


If Police let everyone do Formula 1 at the checkpoints, we would still be the first to complain about their ineptitude when suicide bombers and robbers take advantage.

Was the cop right in killing her ? NO! But even if your wife is about to deliver, 10 seconds you would use to stop wouldn't kill her. If someone is bleeding from an accident, the moment the police see all the blood, they would wave you off/ escort you to hospital

*How did you know she was diving formula one style?

*Why do you talk as if we all don't know why police use their bodies as roadblocks even when they have been ordered not to mount roadblocks?

* Do you realise police must have a reasonable cause before stopping a vehicle? something Nigerian police don't observe, as they stop cars randomly hoping to get the one with expired papers and proceed to collect bribe.

Stay off the hard drugs clown, you aren't making sense and the only thing stupider than you are the idiots who liked your flip flopping post.

Only a certificate forger will appoint someone this dumb to make this kind of statement..

There's no law in Nigeria that mandates hospitals to get police report before treating victims of gunshot injury.

Still the Lagos state House and the national assembly have made laws stipulating jail term and fine for any hospital or doctor who refused to treat a gunshot victim due to absence of police report.

There has never been a more cursed country like this black cesspool called Nigeria. A place run and manned by educated illiterates, devils in uniforms as corrupt as Satan.

Nigerian doctors are mainly proud, hungry folks who got into medical school with the mindset of making money and enjoying the perks of being called a doctor with any social responsibility to save and preserve life.

Nigeria police are mainly people with penchant to steal. People who knew that it is far easier in Nigeria to rob with a police uniform than without one.
